CompUSA 500 watt PS vs. Antec 400 watt

[Alex99]

Hello,
I hope this won't sound like a dumb question. I really don't know much about PS. I have a 300 watt Enlight AMD approved PS running my system (1.2 Ghz @ 1378 with lots of devices). It is quite stable. I read on this forum that a good PS might enable me to OC higher. I went to Compusa and they sell their brand of 500 watt PS for $75. They also carry an Antec 400 Watter for $99. My question is which one do you think is better, taking into consideration the price/performance factor. Thanks.

well, I woudn't buy anything from CompUSA, they are too expensive and very low in terms of quality/preformance, ESPECIALLY if it is their own reseller product (Has a CompUSA label instead of the real label) The antec PSU will be very good, and 400w should be enough, I have the same and I can tell ya now, antec is all quality, they really make it worth it, I wou'd order the full case thogh, I bought teh SX840 AMAZING case for only 105 bucks, I would spend the extra 20 bucks and get an amazing case as well. (same 400w PSU comes inside!)

Good Luck,
